Srinagar: Asiya Andrabi's Dukhtaran-e-Millat organisation on Wednesday raised Pakistani flags in Srinagar to mark Pakistan Day.
Activists of DeM hoisted Pakistani flags at many places in the city including Lal Chowk, officials said. They said flags were hoisted in Downtown and Civil Lines areas of the city as well.
The flags were later removed by police.
DeM has been hoisting Pakistani flags every year on the occasion of Pakistan Day and Independence Day of the country on August 14. Andrabi was booked in 2015 under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act for unfurling the Pakistani flag.
Meanwhile, Pakistan High Commissioner Abdul Basit has invited separatist leaders to attend a function at the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi. Basit has termed separatists attending Pakistan Day Celebrations at the High Commission an annual affair.
He said, "It is also necessary to resolve all our problems, especially the Jammu and Kashmir dispute, so as to put our relations on the irreversible trajectory of peace and prosperity. Cooperative relations are also required to address many common challenges including climate change and poverty."
Political parties on the other hand have objected to separatists attending the event.
